willie Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Just want to say to all our members in Canada and the upper states, hope You and your Families are safe with these fires. I know the air down here is thick and has a yellow/orange haze. Heard there was about 900million acres burning, I can't fathom that, as homes and people must have gotten hurt, though i haven't heard on that. So everyone please be safe and stay inside if you can! God Bless 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Yes it's pretty bad here in upstate too, Joe said western NY is pretty bad too. Today is a little better because the wind shifted slightly but supposed to be this way through the weekend. Hopefully those to the north of us stay safe and hopefully they can get it under control soon. This is from northern NY yesterday near where I was supposed to be camping this weekend but we had to cancel. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montemedic Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 As you saw Willie, it was really nasty here yesterday. It looked like the California smog in the 1970’s. I was out cleaning up and washing my car trailer when the air got really thick with an orange haze that smelled like a wet fire pit. The air quality went down to zero too. I finished up quickly. I then put the central air conditioning on which filtered the air and the odor, and was much more comfortable to breathe. I suggest anyone that has these issues from the Canadian Fires to use you air conditioning, using recirculate and not outside air for your vehicles and home if you have that option on your thru the wall and window mounted AC units. You will definitely breathe easier. 12 States are supposedly affected by these conditions. Please be aware and stay out of it if possible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris shipley Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Air is bad here as well in youngstown ohio. Prayers for everyone 🙏 affected 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 The air her in Pittsburgh was also horrible. It looked like it used to when all of the steel mills were here. When viewing the sun through the hazy smoke it looked like something out of a Science Fiction movie. rob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Taken just now. Worst air quality in over 40 years. I can smell it and fell it in my throat. At least I know that I don’t have Covid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Dennis although i can see the BAD air, and it doesn't look good. A few weeks ago, by us you would see yellow/orange haze by the cars across the street. And that brings me to, why are those cars facing you, and/or you facing them? There aren't any blocks/streets here that do that. The crazy drivers here would all be zig zagging down the block!! Someone is in the wrong lane!!! lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
